1. Setting Up Pabbly Connect for Automation

To begin sending certificates of your digital marketing courses via WhatsApp, you first need to set up Pabbly Connect. This platform enables seamless integration between Google Forms, Google Slides, Google Drive, and WhatsApp.

Start by visiting the Pabbly Connect website and signing up for a free account. Once signed in, navigate to the dashboard where you can create a new workflow specifically for automating certificate distribution. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow, such as ‘Digital Marketing Certificate Automation’.

2. Connecting Google Forms to Pabbly Connect

The next step is to connect your Google Forms to Pabbly Connect using a webhook URL. This URL will allow Pabbly Connect to receive responses directly from your Google Form.

• Open your Google Form and click on the ‘Responses’ tab.
• Go to ‘Extensions’ > ‘Add-ons’ > ‘Get add-ons’ and search for ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’.
• Install the add-on and refresh your Google Sheet linked to the form.

Once installed, click on ‘Extensions’ again, select ‘Pabbly Connect Webhooks’, and choose ‘Initial Setup’. Paste the webhook URL generated in Pabbly Connect and set the trigger column to the last data entry column in your Google Sheet.

3. Creating Certificates with Google Slides

After connecting Google Forms, the next step is to create certificates using Google Slides. Pabbly Connect will facilitate the transfer of data from Google Forms to Google Slides for certificate generation.

In your Pabbly Connect workflow, add a new action step and select Google Slides. Choose the action event ‘Create Presentation from Template’. Connect your Google account and select the certificate template you created in Google Slides.

• Map the student’s name and date fields to the appropriate placeholders in your template.
• Specify the location in Google Drive where the certificate will be saved.

Once the certificate is created, Pabbly Connect will generate a presentation ID that you can use in the next steps.

4. Sharing Certificates via Google Drive

The fourth step is to share the generated certificate using Google Drive. Pabbly Connect will help make the certificate sharable with a link that can be sent to students via WhatsApp.

Add another action in your workflow and select Google Drive. Choose the action event ‘Share a File with Anyone’. Connect your Google Drive account and map the presentation ID generated in the previous step to share the certificate.

After sharing, Pabbly Connect will provide you with a sharable link that you can use to send to your students.

5. Sending Certificates via WhatsApp

The final step is to send the certificate link to students via WhatsApp using Pabbly Connect and 360dialog. This integration allows you to send messages directly to WhatsApp.

Create a new action in your workflow and select 360dialog. Choose the action event ‘Send Template Messages’. Connect your 360dialog account by providing the necessary API key and domain.

Map the recipient’s phone number and the document URL from Google Drive. Customize your message template to include the student’s name and certificate link.

Once set up, Pabbly Connect will automatically send the certificate to the student’s WhatsApp as soon as they fill out the Google Form.
